LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin ~ July 2008 until 2009

Frustrated, has your doctor not told you when to start BDing??? If not, go to the supermarket and by an ovulation kit, ASAP - makes like less stressful! I had no idea before when I was. Apparently you can as early as day 11. On the day you get a positive for "O" you BD that night and the next night - so I am advised to do!

Hi everyone,

just had a quick read and no worries becc just thought I would share the positives as well as the negatives.

Frustrated my FS told me to take notes before I went on the the Clomid.

day 5 take tablets for 5 days then on the 10th day for 10 day to go for our lives if you know what I mean....

I think we missed maybe 3 days all up but just waiting for day 30 to come now not far.

Good luck with that

Hello,I have just taken my first clomid tablet on day 2 of my cycle.I have been ttc for 5 years but only in august last year my reason for infertility was found and hopefully corrected. I have son nearly 12 years old so its a huge gap but well worth the wait when it happens. Does anyone have really bad mood swings whilst on clomid? I have had it before but a few years back whilst undergoing ivf so my memory is bad.I want to warn DH if ill be cranky all month or just while on meds.

Hi Wantababy#2 - welcome - yes I become very irrational - my poor DH - copped it yesterday - usually around O'ing time.

Thanks Bec,I usually become quite moody around ovulation even without Clomid so i dread to think what i will be like.

Im on day 16 now & am so certain that i iovulated yesterday ( Day 15 ). I no i have ovulated before just not every month ( Hopefully being on the chlomid will make it every month ). I had pretty bad o pains for a few hours yesterday then my back got extremely achy and is still today, does this happen to anyone else, i dont remember my back aching like this before from it. Would the chlonid make it worse???
......want baby 2.... Some good advice from the girls before for me, Take the chlomid at night so you sleep thru the worst of the mood swings workd wonders for me.. HOpe this helps.

Dear Frustrated,Thanks for the tip although i have already been taking them at lunchtime.Only 2 more days to go.I cried all day yesterday....what a nightmare.I have some pains in my uterus today.Normal side effects.I was remebering last time i was on them that i couldnt do my pants up comfortably as my abdomen became slightly swollen.That was when i had been taking them prior to my frozen embryo transfer.My mother is worried i will become the next Nadia Sulamain.LOL
